For over a decade researchers at the University of New Hampshire have been involved in the exploration and deployment of in-vehicle user interfaces. This talk will provide a short review of our efforts on deploying in-vehicle user interfaces for police through our Project54 effort. Next, the talk will discuss a number of recent driving simulator-based studies in which eye tracking data was used to estimate the visual attention of the driver to the external world, the ability of the driver to control the vehicle, and the level of the driver’s cognitive load.
